I finally retired, so I just had to begin painting. Pastels quickly became my favorite medium. It has been loads of fun. Drop by to see what I am working on.
When we visited St. Eze, France, we arrived in the morning with the sun shining brightly. Everywhere I looked there were bougainvillea blooms and shuttered windows. I couldn't resist capturing them in pastel.
I am a native of Iowa City, IA and a long term resident of the Midwest, who now happily splits her time between Illinois and Arizona. I recently renewed my love of art after retiring as a life-long educator: a career that spanned every level from Kindergarten through University and Teacher to Superintendent of Schools. Since retiring in 2000, I have traveled extensively with my husband enjoying visits to the work of Masters wherever I have traveled throughout the world.
